Monster Hunter 4 tops for fourth week on Media Create, lifetime sales hit over 2.5 million

Monster Hunter 4 was once again the top selling software title in Japan for the week ending October 6. It was a rather uneventful period, actually, with the only debut was Namco Bandai's SPEC: Ten for 3DS and the only hardware to show growth over the prior week was Wii with 914 units compared 866 units previously. A Wii title didn't crack the top 20 in software so we're unsure what causes the slight spike.
